Another one of those places I never thought I'd be!

Why in the world would I put government links on my Australian web site? I told you!! One of my favorite [former - sob! sob!] Seahawk players shares the same name of the Attorney-General of Australia! I've done DAR-RYL chants for years!

Plus I know some really cool people who hang out in the offices there!

I was never much for history and government until I started traveling and got caught up in local lore of the wherever it was I happened to find myself. History never seemed real from a textbook; I had to be there. I think my first love of history came when I picked up some books about Yellowstone National Park as I was vacationing there. I remember reading about the explorers, trying to imagine what they thought as they looked at the landscape around them!

Anyway, my Aussie cohort loves history and government and he's taught me so much more than I ever knew I wanted to learn! (Don't tell anyone but he's even got me reading massive books on history -- and I'm enjoying them! What's the world coming to?!)

Feel free to wander around even if history and government aren't your cup(s) of tea! You just might be surprised! I was!
